Bad News for England and Tottenham as attacker suffers thigh injury – player to undergo a scan

England’s 2-1 win over Tunisia did come at a price as Tottenham star Dele Alli had to be taken off with 10 minutes remaining in the game.

The Englishman did start the game well and had a great first half but his influence in the clash reduced in the second half as Tunisia looked to hold on for a point.

While Harry Kane was the saviour for the Three Lions with a late headed winner, there is some concern for Alli, and the 22-year-old was quoted by the Independent as saying:

“Hopefully I’m OK. It’s my quad.”

The Englishman is also expected to undergo a scan on the thigh according to Sky Sports. The England and Tottenham fans will hope that the injury is not serious as England’s chances depend on the youngster.

England’s next game will come against Panama while the next clash would be against Belgium on 28 June.

Hopefully, the player will be back to his best to provide England with a chance of doing well in Russia.

Alli scored 14 goals and provided 14 assists for Tottenham this past season but he has not provided any output for England so far.

The World Cup is his place to shine and some seem a little worried about Alli being injured.

England return to training after #TUN win – only subs (playing & non-playing) involved, rest recovering at hotel. Dele Alli gone for scan on thigh problem but was walking fine this morning. Tomorrow the only complete day off for players & staff at this #WorldCup#ENG#ThreeLionspic.twitter.com/PMzfoeDvz3

I would play Dier and Rose (if fit) v Panama – keeps more players involved and hungry and the ability of the side stays v similar.
I’d rest Alli’s thigh and bring in Loftus-Cheek.
I would play Sterling.
And keep 3 at the back.

26-year-old Tottenham star finds himself on Juventus’ radar for the January window

Juventus have made Christian Eriksen one of their top targets as they try to add quality in the winter window, according to Tuttosport (h/t Daily Mail).

The report adds that Paul Pogba, Adrien Rabiot and Aaron Ramsey are all targets for the Serie A giants, and a reunion with the Manchester United man is their first choice.

Should a move not work out for Pogba, Eriksen is the man Juventus believe they can get. The Dane has struggled with injury this season at Tottenham and has recorded a single goal for the side.

Juventus have made it a habit of getting some quality players on the cheap and Eriksen is yet to sign a new deal with Spurs.

The attacking midfielder has been missed this season but we have done a decent job without him. Spurs are fourth in the Premier League just five points behind Manchester City, and our next clash is against Chelsea after the international break.

Eriksen has had a tough time with an injury this season but has recovered from the abdominal issue. The 26-year-old played the entire 90 against Wales and is expected to play again before the end of the international break.
